Zane Doughty will play his college basketball in-state, but at a different school than where he originally committed.
The 6-9 Ben Davis standout, the Marion County player of the year and one of six finalists for IndyStar Mr. Basketball, announced his commitment to Ball State on Sunday, following a weekend official visit. Doughty was committed to Valparaiso before coach Matt Lottich was fired at the end of March.
Ball State coach Michael Lewis showed interest quickly after Doughty was released from his letter of intent, making an in-home visit. Doughty was previously recruited by Ball State prior to his commitment to Valparaiso, but did not have an offer.
